When we talk in positive terms about the neighborhoods in Detroit, we mostly mention Corktown, Palmer Woods, Downtown, Indian Village, Midtown and Sherwood Forest.

Well I want to shout out other neighborhoods where there's good looking houses, hard working people, and neighbors who come together.

I drove down Oakland Blvd from Rosa Parks to Davison freeway and from Grand River to Greenfield and many houses still look good.

Cardoni Street between Nevada and 7 mile. True there are some boarder up and burned out homes, but the neighbors informally meet to talk about making things better. They came together and clean up the streets. They host gatherings in the Hawthrone Park, something for the kids on Halloweeen and big event in the summer bringing together old neighbors who used to hang out at the Hawthrone rec center.
University District between Parkside and Livernois, 7 Mile and 6 Mile, Still a very stable area

i hope the substance in these threads and posts aren't indicative of how your documentary will be. that's just me hoping, no need to further explain your film to us again.

I wrote this thread because many of your friends seem to think that Detroit should go bankrupt expect for a few neighborhoods. Well I want to speak up for the other neighborhoods that have some problems but also have some people who are working to make what's left apart of The Great Detroit.
A friend of mine lives on East Outer Drive near Warren and she's her block club captain and she tells me about the good stuff they are doing. So I hope that you don't mind I acknowledge her and people like her.
Back to my documentary, I can make you famous, just purchase one of my patron ads and I'll include your name among the film's credits. Click here:

We have all concluded that there are tall churches in Detroit. Some are so tall you can see them from miles away. We also know that there are good neighborhoods in Detroit and in those neighborhoods there are good people working very hard in those neighborhoods. We have discussed neighborhoods both good and bad extensively. So much so that they have been discussed to death. If you don't believe me check the archives. I am sure that is one of the reasons why they are there. There are a lot of tall things in Detroit. There are tall people in Detroit who tell tall tales..but I digress....Sorry...:o
"There are tall people in Detroit who tell tall tales..but I digress...."
Do you have any links to any studies that have been done on or proof of the existence of these so-called "tall people in Detroit who tell tall tales"?
so you mention it anyway... i dont know how i could become famous from a documentary that nobody is going to watch but ok.Quote:
